Jeff's Lair

Welcome to my personal web page. I'm sorry if it seems sparse. I had a much nicer page, but it is old and obsolete now, so I have pretty much retired it in its entirety. I may bring back bits and pieces, but this is a fresh start. So far the German and Babylon 5 sections are the only carry overs.

Anime / Movies / TV:
I have broken anime into a separate section.
I have a Babylon 5 page here.
I have DVD, Video and A/V info here.

Models:
I have been involved with scale models on and off since I was about eight years old. I have tried scale railroads, HO, N and the antique American Flyer (American Flyer actually used the 'S' guage, 1:64 I believe), collected a small number of die-cast cars and tractors, and I have mostly been putting together plastic model kits. I have tried modern fighters, automobiles, trucks, space ships and most recently, figures. I have even used the authentic paint colors for cars I modeled, as I built three of my kits based on my father's full scale projects, and used his paint. I am not extremely experienced or skilled, but I like my work, and others seem to think I do an excellent job.

NEW - updated with photos from a crappy digital camera captured with an analog video capture card!

I am a fairly heavy user of computers. I am on the 'web and email lists about an hour a day, if not more (too much, to tell the truth!). I have a four year old 64 bit, 500 MHz Alpha computer. It may not be such a hot machine anymore but it's still by far the most reliable computer I've ever owned. I run Windows NT 4.0 and Linux on it. The only reason I'd get a PC is to play games (the Descents and the Command and Conquers), and it hasn't been compelling enough, I am busy enough as it is.

I try to design this site so that it is simple yet a bit elegant and not use advanced features so nearly any browser can read and display it without much trouble. I use Internet Explorer 5.0 and Netscape Navigator 4.0 to view my pages. I prefer Navigator as it handles link folders on the link bar in a far more elegant and efficient manner than even IE 5.0. Also, Navigator handles progressive scan JPEG images in an intelligent manner, displaying it as it comes rather than waiting until the entire image is loaded then display it. Otherwise IE 5.0 does display a bit quicker.
